In Greek Cypriot society there was massive strife between Cypriotist leftists supporting AKEL(and other leftist parties) and the pro-Enosis camp who knew and never forgot their Greek identity. Leftists tended to avoid the National Guard service and instead man the leftist Epikouri milita loyal to Makarios and the leftist parties.
Before Turkey invaded Makarios and the Cypriotist wanted to reduce the National Guard manpower:

For the date of the application of this law they choose the date of the 20th of July (I wonder if this was an accident that this was the date of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus?)" ...
"This would have reduced the strength of the National Guard on that date to something like 5,000 men in peactime. The Turkish Cypriot enclave of Lefkosa-Agyrtas alone had 3,500 men directed from Turkish officers, and their strength(Turkish Cypriot) mounts up to 20,000 in the whole of Cyprus." ...

This prompted the National Guard to hit the Rasputin of Cyprus, Makarios and the leftist loser ancestors of yours all across the island. This is why your tribe whines Greece junta allowed the Turkish invasion till this day and "Where was Greece".
Damn well you leftist lizards know that you are too busy in Cypriotist Commie fantasy land. You will not defend yourself from external threats you expect Greece to do this for you, even while you fight Greece. You also expect the international community to fight the battles and defend the land which you barely will fight for.
